CARBON NANOTUBE GROWTH ON METALLIC SUBSTRATE USING VAPOR PHASE CATALYST DELIVERY
摘要
<p>A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using a vapor phase catalyst of directly growing aligned carbon nanotubes on a metal surfaces. The method allows for fabrication of carbon nanotube containing structures that exhibit a robust carbon nanotube metal junction without a pre-growth application of solid catalytic materials to the metal surface or the use of solder or adhesives in a multi-step fabrication process.</p>
